Prince has some amazing lyrics but there's been a couple of cringy ones...

From Man O War..."Even if I tried to, I couldn't because I still smell like the last time"...

Ummm....take a shower?

I'm not overly keen on him coming back as a dolphin.

Its going down people....like the wall of Berlin. Cheesetastic line in a great album.

In the wake of Prince's passing, this is a possibility. Would you listen to him then?

"The opposite of Nato is otan." And something else about "when them devils come, ...." on TRC. It's so freakin' corny.

in this digital age, you can just... page me.

there are no more pagers in the digital age lol.

that line ruined a beautiful song on SOMEWHERE HERE ON EARTH

I would otherwise love I Love U In Me, but cringe whenever I hear the "When she makin' love it's like surgery" line.

Damn you.. love the song but...

"Like animals just born to breed
Come to think about cha baby
You're my only need"

why I ask... why? if I was the lady he was singing about Id be offended..

Peach:

' She was pure, every ounce
I was sure when her titties bounced'

Just the word, 'titties' - I mean, bleurgghhhh!!!

I'm a gay dude, and I love that line.

Some I've never been especially fond of are the "river of blood" line in I Wanna Melt With U, "I want all your germs" in The Continental and "the taste outta your mouth" thing in Let's Pretend We're Married but I feel like there are others that aren't popping to mind immediately like just more akward or corny type ones. hmmmmm. Also, I agree with the Dolphin one mentioned above

Are you a preacher too?

Not sure what that means.

Pheromone. I never understood what "helpless as a pet" means.

LOVE that song!! Always thought of this lyric as that he feels like a submissive animal due to his raw and primal (animalistic) sexual desire that she (and the situation he is watching/ taking part of) is creating within him. This is another example of Prince being an amazing story teller while being as funky and sexy as hell!

Even though I really like the song, the lyric "don't look now...there's a river of blood...you must have been a virgin...what am I guilty of" from "I Wanna Melt With U." This came out when I was in college... such a great album (it's in my top 10), but it was hard to play this song around non-hardcore Prince fans let alone walk around campus with my headphones on singing to this one!

Yeah,

I have had a cesarean section and a knee operation and there is NOTHING sexy about surgery.

I wanted to start a thread about replacing the "surgery" lyric in the song ''I Love You In Me" with something more romantic or sexier.

.

For Example;

.

"When she makin' love it's like chemistry"

or, honesty, or home to me, or heavenly, or reverie, or I don't know, anything but surgery.

.

Dinner with Delores - brontosaurus! ...& i agree w/ others about the rare cringey lines being endearing. he was so out-of-this-world talented and he maintained such a cool image, they provided back-to-earth moments and i'd feel a different kind of love for a little bit. like dorky family. then right back to awestruck. so many kinds of love <3

This is a sweet sentiment; although with regards Somewhere Here on Earth, couldn't the line about "you can just page me" be quite a clever use of irony? Just a thought.

The "joke" in Vicki Waiting.

Ruins the song completely for me.

Vicki didn't laugh at all, well that says enough..

Haaaaahahahahahaha! Of course I would. I'm a fan, fin or no fins.

I think he meant surgery as a precision thing, like in "surgical precision". So making love with her was a perfect, precise thing.
